BIOLOGY SCIENCE INSTRUCTIONAL TASKS
Comparing Organs
Grade-Level Expectations
The exercises in these instructional tasks address content related to the following science grade-level
expectation:
LS-H-F1 Compare structure to function of organs in a variety of organisms (GLE 33)
Contents

These instructional tasks contain a set of document- or resource-based exercises about making
comparisons among structure and function of organs of various phyla.
Teachers may choose to use or modify the tasks as part of an instructional lesson or as a formative or
summative assessment.
The printable student version excludes teacher directions.

Scoring Notes
Student responses will not be an exact imitation of the responses below. These are given only as examples.
A. The difference between the amphibian and reptile hearts is that the reptile has a partially divided ventricle. Because of the partial partition in the
reptile heart, there is less mixing of oxygen rich and oxygen poor blood making the circulatory system (action of the heart) more effective in
supplying oxygen to the other body parts and cells.
The three-chambered heart of the amphibian consists of two atria and one undivided ventricle. Blood leaving the ventricle passes through the
pulmonary arteries leading to the lungs and through an aorta to the rest of the body. Oxygenated blood returns to the heart from the lungs into the
left atrium, while deoxygenated blood returning from the body passes into the right atrium. Both atria empty into the single ventricle, mixing the
oxygen-rich blood returning from the lungs with the oxygen-depleted blood from the body tissues. Because the ventricle is partially divided in the
reptile, it allows for less mixing of the blood from both sources for more effective circulation of the oxygen-carrying blood.
B. Upper chambers of the heart receive blood from the body and the lungs and then pump it to the ventricle(s).
Alternative wording: Atria receive blood from the veins and lungs to pump it to the lower ventricles.
C. The fish have the simplest hearts and a single-circuit circulation. They are made up of two main chambers: an atrium and a ventricle. The atrium
pumps the blood into the ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood into the vessels that travel to the gills where it is enriched with oxygen. The
oxygenated blood then flows through the body and returns to the atrium. Fish exchange gases in their gills so they do not require as efficient of a
heart as land-dwelling animals who exchange gases in lungs.
Amphibians and reptiles have a three-chambered heart. The three-chambered heart consists of two atria and one ventricle. Blood leaves the
ventricle and passes through the pulmonary arteries leading to the lungs or through a forked aorta leading to the rest of the body. Oxygenated
blood returns to the heart from the lungs into the left atrium, while deoxygenated blood returning from the body passes into the right atrium. Both
atria empty into the single ventricle, mixing the oxygen-rich blood returning from the lungs with the oxygen-depleted blood from the body tissues.
Because this system assures that some blood always passes to the lungs and then back to the heart, it is more efficient than the two-chambered
heart. Alternative response: The amphibians exchange gases in their lungs and skin, thus their heart is more complex because it has two atria (3
chambers) and has two separate vessels entering the two atria which keep blood with wastes separate from freshly oxygenated blood. The fish
heart is very simple because it exchanges gases in its gills from water, not air. It has only two chambers and one entry vein and one exit artery.
D. The heart with four chambers is more efficient because it completely separates the blood containing carbon dioxide from the newly oxygenated
blood coming back from the lungs so that only blood containing oxygen leaves through the aorta to the rest of the body. The body cells receive only
freshly oxygenated blood. Alternative responses: (1)The divided lower heart chambers (or four chambered heart) separates blood form the body
(carrying CO2) from blood returning from the lungs which is rich in oxygen so that the body (cells) receives blood carrying only oxygen rather than a
mixture. (2)The four chambered heart provides two parallel pumps to keep the blood carrying CO2 wastes separate from the blood carrying oxygen
which results in the body (cells) receiving only oxygenated blood.
